EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Boys just want to have fun.Andrew Luck certainly didnt have any when he sat out a Thanksgiving night loss with a concussion. He made up for it very nicely Monday night in a 41-10 romp past the inept New York Jets.To get back out there and do some decent things, thats fun, Luck said after throwing for four touchdowns, three to Dwayne Allen. Sitting out is no fun.Not that Luck had to work very hard against the hosts, who were booed by a much-less-than-filled MetLife Stadium almost from the outset.Luck missed last weeks loss to Pittsburgh, cleared the NFLs concussion protocol on the weekend, and came back in style with a prime-time performance. He lifted Indianapolis (6-6) into a tie for the lead in the AFC South with Tennessee and Houston.The quarterback was outstanding, coach Chuck Pagano said. Its always great to have your starting quarterback under center.Allen and T.Y. Hilton were his main targets as he went 22 of 28 for 278 yards, and they received little opposition from the Jets (3-9).It was a great night for everyone, Allen said. You hope that every night you go to play, its a night like that. Its not realistic in the National Football League.This one couldnt have come easier for Indianapolis. The Colts toyed with the lifeless Jets from the beginning, when New Yorks Jeremy Ross got to only his 11-yard line with the opening kickoff return. A three-and-out gave Luck the ball, and seven plays later, he hit a wide-open Allen for a 7-0 edge.Indy needed only four plays on its next series, with Allen even more open for a 21-yard reception to make it 14-0. At that juncture, the Colts had gained 120 yards, the Jets 6.I cant put my finger on it, but it has made a big difference, Luck said of getting out quickly. To be up 7-0 (immediately) means a lot.Those yardage figures wound up 421 to 250. Indy scored its most points since Week 13 of 2014; the Jets allowed their most since Week 8 of that season.The Jets (3-9) finally found some spark after Pat McAfees punt was downed at their 3. Matt Forte turned a short pass into a 40-yard gain with a nasty move on Rashaan Melvin, but that drive stalled and Nick Folk made a 38-yard field goal.That temporarily quieted the boobirds in the stadium. But Luck hit Hilton for 23 yards on Indys next play, Gore ran for 19 and Adam Vinatieri kicked a 53-yard field goal to make it 17-3.And when Allen set a career best with this third TD reception on a perfect 23-yard throw from Luck, the rout was on.Its never easy and you cant ever take your foot off the gas and relax and say, `We got this, Pagano said.Donte Moncrief added a 3-yard touchdown, the sixth straight game he has caught one. Hilton continually victimized cornerback Darrelle Revis and other Jets DBs, making nine catches for 146 yards. Hilton went over 1,000 yards for the fourth time in his five pro seasons.New York has lost four in a row and is 1-5 at home. Its performance Monday night cant be of any help to coach Todd Bowles, who led the Jets to a 10-6 mark a year ago in his first season in charge.I thought for the first time this year, we got our (butt) handed to us, Bowles said.MISSED OPPORTUNITYThe Colts barely missed being up 31-3 at the half. Jack Doyle lost the ball while reaching for the pylon late in the second quarter, resulting in a touchback.WHOS THE QB?Bowles replaced Ryan Fitzpatrick (5 for 12, 81 yards, one interception) with Bryce Petty to start the second half. Didnt matter at all as Petty went 11 for 25 for 135 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. He will start the final four games, the coach said.VP IN THE HOUSEVice President-elect Mike Pence was a guest of Jets owner Woody Johnson. He didnt see much of a game.MOMENT OF SILENCEThe Jets held a moment of silence before the game to honor former running back Joe McKnight, killed last Thursday in Louisiana. Authorities said McKnight, 28, was shot during a road rage incident.McKnight had a 107-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in 2011, and it stands as the longest play in Jets history.INJURIESColts: LB DQwell Jackson left in the fourth quarter with a concussion. RG Denzelle Good also sustained a concussion.Jets LB Julian Stanford hurt his ankle in the third quarter and S Antonio Allen sustained a concussion in the final period. C Nick Mangold returned from a four-game hiatus because of a sprained ankle, but aggravated it.UP NEXTThe Colts host Houston in a first-place division showdown. We know how big that game is, Luck said.The Jets visit San Francisco (1-11).---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Gregor Blanco Jersey .ca! Hi Kerry, Heres an interesting one. I know its common knowledge that all players are responsible for their sticks. We witnessed that when Zack Kassian hit Edmontons Sam Gagner in the face after a missed check. Pete Alonso Mets Jersey . However, he did make them miss him a little less. Cundiff, who had the unenviable job of replacing Dawson last season, agreed Thursday to a one-year, $1. http://www.metssale.com/mets-nolan-ryan-jersey/ . "Theyve both been real good," said Babcock. "Havent changed our minds." A decision has seemingly been made - Sundays Group B-deciding tilt against Finland ahead - but it could not have been an easy one. Price opened the tournament with a sturdy 19-save performance against the Norwegians, yielding just one goal. Adeiny Hechavarria Mets Jersey . Clarke was injured while practicing on the Doha Golf Club range after the pro-am on Tuesday. The Northern Irishman arrived at the course on Wednesday hoping to start, but after hitting a few balls on the practice putting green Clarke advised officials he was not fit to play. Tim Tebow Jersey . Parker had 26 points and eight assists and San Antonio beat Toronto 112-99 Monday night. "We won that game because of Tony Parkers aggressiveness," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "His juice; his aggression all night long. SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick says he has had his life threatened as a response to his protest of racial oppression and inequality in the United States by kneeling during the national anthem.Kaepernick said Tuesday that he has received threats via a couple of different avenues, in addition to social media. He seemed mostly nonplussed by the threats, saying he hasnt reported any of them to the 49ers security team.To me, if something like that were to happen, youve proved my point and it will be loud and clear for everyone why it happened and that would move this movement forward at a greater speed than what it is even now, Kaepernick said. Granted, I dont want that to happen, but thats the realization of what could happen, and I knew there were other things that came along with this when I first stood up and spoke about it. Thats not something I havent thought about.Kaepernick spoke to a handful of reporters Tuesday in a 15-minute chat that started out as an informal conversation about vegan weightlifting supplements and turned serious when Kaepernick began speaking about police shooting and killing Terence Crutcher in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Friday.I think it will be very, very telling what happens with the officer that killed him, what happens with [her] because everybodys eyes will be on [her], Kaepernick said. For me, I think one of the things that Ive noticed throughout this is theres a lot of racism in this country disguised as patriotism. People want to take everything back to the flag, but thats not what were talking about. Were talking about racial discrimination, inequalities and injustices that are happening across the nation.Kaepernick began his protest in the preseason by choosing to sit for the national anthem in the first three games before he and safety Eric Reid knelt before the teams preseason finale in San Diego after a long chat with Army Green Beret Nate Boyer, who is also a former NFL player.In the time since, Kaepernicks protest has gained traction in other corners of the country with athletes kneeling and some raising a fist during the playing of the Star-Spangled Banner.Kaepernick has also pledged to donate the first $1 million he makes this season to charities that will help communities in need. He added a little more about the progress on that front Tuesday, saying he intends to donate $100,000 per week over the next 10 weeks to the organizations he chooses to work with.Kaepernick said his team is building a website that shows wherre the money is going, shows how its being spent and, he hopes, offers people the chance to donate.ddddddddddddWell be able to track it so everyone can see exactly what organizations the money is going to and also making sure that we get an itemized list from the organizations of what theyre spending the money on to make sure not only that Im transparent with what Im doing but these organizations are transparent with where the money is going as well, Kaepernick said.Kaepernick said it has been challenging to vet the many organizations that have reached out for help and he is working to ensure that the money is going to the right place.Thats part of the reason we are being very careful and very meticulous with what were doing to make sure that the organizations that we are working with are grassroots and the money is going to the communities that we want it to go to and helping the people that we want it to help, Kaepernick said. Because theres a lot of foundations and organizations where a fraction of the money that you donate goes to what the actual cause is and a lot of it is spent on company expenses or whatever you want to call it. Thats part of what we want to make sure we are not allowing to happen when making donations.While Kaepernick said he knew the backlash that might come with his protest, he is keeping his focus on the many athletes and people around the country offering support. He pointed to athletes at all levels of sports and in other sports as joining the cause and singled out New England Patriots defensive end Chris Long for expressing his thoughts recently.I think other people are picking up on the protest and speaking out about it, from high school to activists to pro athletes, Kaepernick said. I think its huge and I think the more conversation continues between those communities, more and more solutions will come up on how to fix this and the best way to fix it as quickly as possible. I think thats important and ultimately the goal.Former Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch supported Kaepernicks stance during an appearance on Conan on Tuesday night.With whats going on, Id rather see him take a knee than stand up, put his hands up and get murdered, Lynch said. My take on it is [expletive] they got to start somewhere.I just hope people open up their eyes and see that theres really a problem going on and something needs to be done for it to stop. ' ' '
